Texas' top two youth volunteers for 2013 by the Prudential Spirit | ||
of Community Awards program; and | ||
WHEREAS, Prudential Financial, in partnership with the | ||
National Association of Secondary School Principals, presents | ||
these awards annually to honor young people across the nation for | ||
outstanding volunteerism and community service; now in its 18th | ||
year, the program is the country's largest youth recognition | ||
program based solely on volunteer service; and | ||
WHEREAS, A sophomore at Paris High School, Matthew leads a | ||
team of students who have together secured donations of | ||
approximately 20,000 household and personal items and | ||
distributed them to local families in need; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition to teaching students about community | ||
service, Matthew's project has enriched his own life, along with | ||
the lives of many underserved residents of Paris, where 24 | ||
percent of the population is indigent; and | ||
WHEREAS, The success and vitality of our communities, our | ||
state, and our American society depend in great measure upon the | ||
dedication of young people like Matthew, who use their time and | ||
talents to serve others; and | ||
WHEREAS, Matthew has shown by his example that he | ||
personifies the true spirit of giving to the community; he is | ||
truly deserving of recognition for his dedication to the needs of | ||
others; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate Matthew Draeger for being | ||
selected as one of our state's top two youth volunteers and | ||
extend to him best wishes for success in all his future | ||
endeavors; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
